How many of those had b/u QB's?

How many turnovers did those sloppy QB's gift you?

And it really doesn't matter in the end because this week you're playing a HOF QB led by a HOF HC against the best throwing HB in the NFL.

BroTyler Huntley is a ProBowl QB.

I think MVS, Toney and Hardman are all out after this season. You're gonna see 3 or so new WR's next year.

Hardman should be able to be resigned extremely cheap for a 1 or 2 year deal and cut at low impact later if necessary.

No reason to return Toney or MVasS's calls...

Ravens sacked Stroud 5 times in his first career game (didn't record a sack last week) and Minshew 5 times... and then you look at other games and they sacked Burrow once in the first game, Stafford twice, Lawrence once.

It's easy to skew numbers in this league given how many teams are pretty terrible and given how bad the worst of the worst can be.

It's pretty hard to Skew Sacks, Takeaways, and lowest points allowed in the same season. Underestimate this defense if you'd like.

Toney is literally zero savings to dump. I think they’ll keep him and see what they’ve got. See if he can stay healthy and carve out a role against some competition.

Leash is going to be short, for sure.

Your lowest points allowed stat is 0.5 ppg lower than KC. It's essentially the same.

Actually KC's number is more impressive when you consider they didn't have 290 turnovers to end drives...

The sample size is just so small, that a simple thing like blowing out a collapsing Miami Dolphins team with a vulnerable QB down key pieces of his supporting cast can drastically skew things.

Yet you guys been beaten your chest because you beat 2 teams in that exact boat. Do you see the hypocrisy in that?

For the price him just being a really good Punt/Kick returner is worth it.

If he can stay healthy...

Remember the whispers that he struggling to learn the playbook and it was limiting his snap count earlier in the season?

If he has a mental block from getting on the field right now, at some point the amount of draft capital we invested on him isn't going to matter when we'd be literally better off having Skyy put up a 0/0. At some point, just declare victory on the trade for having Toney land us Super Bowl 57 and wish him the best on a mental reset on another team.

Yep

I'll maintain that it's hard for trash QBs to get to10 wins. I agree there aren't many Mahomes but you don't have to down every other QB in the league to prop up Mahomes he's plenty good on his own.

Id imagine Reid sits down and has a long talk with Toney this offseason. Last season of his rookie deal coming up. Do you want to dedicate your life to football and have a breakout season and sign a second contract elsewhere for life changing money or do you want to continue on the same path and likely be out of the league in a couple of years? Now or never time for him.

Only plant Chief would count a loss as a win.

A fraudulent “great” defense Cleveland Browns team, on road, QBed by Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Detroit at home. Great win. Some team that is drastically different outside the dome? Picks up a lot more steam if the Lions win tomorrow.

Rams at home. Good win. Lucky to get it, honestly.

@ 49ers definitely the best win. Exposed mediocre game manager QB.


btw, you lost to the Lions and were playing at home. come on, you're complaining about who we played......go look in the mirror buddy.
Miami at home. Frauds.

Not all 10-win teams are created equal.

At the time.....Lions, Niners, Dolphins, Browns have a very good defense, Rams, at the time the Jags and Texans twice

We played a lot harder schedule than the Chiefs played this season regardless and you say all 10 win teams aren't built the same, that is true.

btw, you lost to the Lions and were playing at home. We destroyed them and played them at home. Does that mean we are better than you, no it doesn't, but it certainly doesn't support your argument. You really should look at your schedule before you start knocking ours.
